V8 Swapped E30

[Jdesign]

I have a green car.

Ha-ha I like where this is going.

[johnprusinski]

Time for an update. I short of maxed my credit card out to buy a perts to rebuild the head on the black e30 and a cage for the v8 swap. The cage has a pretty huge leed time so I probably won't see that for a few months. I did however get my garagistic brake booster delete bracket. I won't go into details about the scrap they sent me. I also bought my pedals and masters. On February 19th I'll be buying coilovers. I also mounted my resivoirs for the pedals.

What cam in the m20?

[johnprusinski]

I bought a 284 degree cam.

Interesting reservoir placement. Any reason they aren't in the bay?

[KaiserRolls]

Keep an eye on the level as you drive maybe?

Would a place let you pass tech with stuff in the cab like that John?

[Bassboy3313]

A guy on BF who has a track e21 has his reservoirs in the cabin as well. So I assume it doesn't matter

[Earl]

I've seen them inside plenty of times but never on the outside of the dash. I've only seen them mounted under the dash centrally or right above the pedal box

Might depend on which orgs you run with. Usually tech rules for racing are stricter than DE, and/or more strictly enforced.

There is often the blanket prep rule that if the rules don't say you can do X then you can't do X. The other broad rule that might apply is that hoses in the cabin carrying hot or flammable liquids have to be metal or reinforced (e.g., braided steel for your lines).

[johnprusinski]

I will be OK with mounting everything inside the cab. I plan to switch to steal braided lines, but I'm using the rubber lines for mock up, because they came with the masters.

[CMart]

Definitely unique.

Mine are rubber lines as well. I didn't think it mattered all the much being before the high pressure.

[johnprusinski]

I got some ABS plastic tonight and ended up making a plate and I mounted my resivoirs. 

[CMart]

Is your bay really that crowded?

[CMart]

Same setup:

[johnprusinski]

I wont know for sure until I have everything mocked up in the bay. As of right now everything can be changed and Ill make the final decision once the motor is all done and in.

[straight6pwr]

its like those 1900s race cars where you need a co-pilot to watch/fill the oil level because pistons had no rings and all the oil was dumped right out the exhaust.

[CMart]

Are you deleting the heat/vents?

[johnprusinski]

Yes, I'm deleting all of the heater vents. I'll be putting gauges in the middle vents and on the driver's side vent. The passenger side vent is just getting blocked off.

[CMart]

That makes things easier. I was hoping you found a way to relocate the atmosphere controls. I would love to use that space for something better.
